I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of this picture of the Ady Gil I took in 2009 a few months before she was crushed by that Japanese security vessel. :lol:
Here she is in Auckland. At the time I thought she was some kind of fancy party boat. :bow:

Auburn's online Masters of Accountancy is $28,000 for ONE year. Who do they think they are, Vandy? :lol: (Vandy's on campus is of course $56,000 or something ridiculous for one year).
I'd love to go to Vandy but I think I'm headed back to MSU next fall for my Macc....

[quote]Guy is lucky it was a security guard and not a cop. Security guard knew how to neutralize the situation and didn't go any further. An insecure cop would have knocked him out and then choked him until he died because, you know, that unconscious person is still a threat.[/quote]

Anyone here ever heard of USANA? I have a friend in New Zealand who sells it. Sort of like Advocare combined with Plexus (ugh).
From her Facebook a few days ago:

Our campsite in 2008. Was surprised at how many Aggie tents there were--didn't see any significant concentrations of other universities.
Also Wisconsinites will confuse the old MSU M-state with Michigan State and they will ask you why the colors on your shirt are wrong.
That green Eureka tent ...

[quote]FWIW, they use that parachute in every landing, even at Barksdale. [/quote]
Thanks, I didn't know that.
As a kid I went to Oshkosh in 1991 and 1994, as an adult, in 2008. Got to see Concorde up close in 1994 and I wanted so badly to fly on her, even subsonic. They were selling 1 hour fl...

Had to use the parachute and it was a tight fit on Oshkosh's longest runway. It's there at the biggest airshow in the world to commemorate its 60th anniversary. Flew in from Barksdale AFB.

The A6000 is a fantastic camera (and I've used both the Nikon J2 and V3 and liked them too).
It has a bigger, newer sensor than the AW1 and has the same excellent autofocus (DSLR-type autofocus points built into the sensor itself). Do you realize that the AW1 is a waterproof camera?

[quote]Yeah when I tried to find a picture, I didn't notice what bothers me about them. I guess it's just an IRL thing. They seem disperportionatly tall compared to their width with the way the taillight cuts through the center of the car.

Sounds like you're an Explorer man. :lol: They...

300hp and FWD is not a match made in heaven.

[quote]He was making $300/day teaching seminars and $50/hr. for private lessons at age 14 because he put in the work to reach that point.[/quote]
:lol: So why isn't he buying his own car and paying for it himself? He'll appreciate it more and be more careful with it (and his life) than if you bu...

I find that Aldi is mostly junk food that I'm not interested in buying and the stuff that I might actually buy I can get cheaper or better quality at Costco.
I'm a big fan of our local Sprouts that opened up in Madison, AL. Nice store--like Whole Foods but cheaper and less pretentious....

[quote]ETA: And what are you talking about with this cheaper materials nonsense? Do you remember what cars where like in the 80s and 90s?[/quote]
Toyota certainly used higher quality interior materials in the 80s/90s than they do today. They were also farther ahead of the competition reliability-...

[quote]OK,this is not an intricate observation on a plot point.
But damn, that one Septa that was blocking Cersei's retreat from the High Sparrow could give Brienne a run for her money in size/imposing presence. Or at least she could play tight end for most DI football teams. [/quote]
